[/IMG] I make them when I have good antler. I also make "Penny Knives" which were a poor man's friction folder. Turned Walnut grip, 01 blade. These are very reasonably priced. Well under $100.00.

Contact Rick Lowe. He posts here from time-to-time. He is a great guy to deal with and makes some fine knives. His prices are very, very reasonable, and the quality of his work is great. He goes by his real name here on the forums.

Second that on RLo (Rick). He does quality work reasonable and he's right shiney for a transplanted Okie.
